Description:
New Works on Paper is remarkable for its surreal logic and imagery. Things as familiar as bread and pencils – or as strangely menacing as Serena Williams' earring or Keira Knightly's jaw – clash with the unrelenting forces of time, desire, and the natural world. The poems are witty and erotic in their wild energy, surprising, edgy and angular in their shifting perspectives, full of startling disjunctions and mirrorings, and always acutely aware of their own craft.
"Luke Beesley's collection of poems New Works on Paper ... maps cityscapes, scraping through Melbourne's inner-city (Northcote) and Sydney's Bondi. His words often take you on surreal paths of flight, shaping into strange and self-referential swirls, leaving you disoriented but transformed." - The Australian
